Derrick Rose: (Knee) Closing In On Contact

Rose (knee) is close to receiving clearance to take contact, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

On Tuesday, coach Tom Thibodeau said that Rose was "on schedule, maybe even slightly ahead" as he recovers from meniscus surgery. After he was diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear in his right knee on Feb 24, he was given a recovery timetable of 4-to-6 weeks. Despite recent encouraging signs, it's difficult to trust that he'll return at all considering his rich injury history.
